List of international cricket centuries by Geoffrey Boycott

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Doesn't meet the minimum 25 international cut-off agreed by WP:CRIC for lists of individual international centuries. There is no chance for the player to reach the cut-off, as he is retired. Besides, to summarise the whole list and expand context, I would be happier if there were match coverage and/or match reports in place of the match scorecards in refs. &mdash;  A.A Prinon  Leave a dialogue 09:50, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to the player's article with a very selective merge, in prose form, of key achievements, the table itself is statscruft. We've been through dozens of these discussions before and the consensus has usually led to this outcome (or deleted for even less prominent players). The 'minimum 25 cut-off' thingy isn't policy, it's an arbitrary threshold that hold no real policy value. Ajf773 (talk) 10:36, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect there does seem to be some coverage about him getting 100 first-class centuries, but not about his Test match centuries. So no need for a separate list for them. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:51, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment and, Won't partial merge of the article be a better option than just redirecting. &mdash;  A.A Prinon   Leave a dialogue 12:05, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to Geoffrey Boycott/redirect His test centuries don't get enough coverage for a separate list article so would support merging them into the main article. Would though support the creation of List of first-class cricket centuries by Geoffrey Boycott as his 100 hundreds do get coverage. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 13:23, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
